Shaping the New Nation during the War:Emotional Mobilization and Educational Documentary The Second Generation
The educational documentary film,The Second Generation,born during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,was produced by the Central Film Studio in 1941 and directed by Pan Jienong.The direct purpose to shoot the film was to use the image of Chinese refugee children to seek external publicity.However,if the emotional education work carried out by the CPC in revolutionary activities is extended,it can also be seen that the way left-wing filmmakers launched emotional mobilization when participating in such tasks is usually to create a series of inspiring and attractive screen images.This film The Second Generation uses Chinese refugee children during wartime as an emotional medium,utilizing the documentary's documentary function to depict the growth experiences of children in daycare centers under artillery fire,shaping them into a new generation of wartime citizens with combat effectiveness and dedication.This film,as a work of left-wing filmmakers shot under the auspices of an official film agency during the war,although ostensibly must cooperate with the Kuomintang regime's policy of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and nation building,in fact,it also conveys a clear progressive position through children's acting and singing,turning their rich emotional capital into propaganda of the CPC's concept of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.The film constructs many landscapes that gather emotional power and revolutionary identity,and declares the birth of a new political subject with children as artistic representatives.
